If someone asked you to physically show them stress, you wouldn't be able to do it. Stress is just a mindset that takes a physical toll on our bodies.

To make it even more difficult, what stresses people often aren't the same.

Some are going to be deathly afraid of speaking on stage, others thrive on it.

Stress isn't just mental, though. The chemicals, nutrient deficiencies and other challenges we face are also stresses.

Our bodies have an imaginary bucket. The capacity of that bucket determines how much stress we can handle before symptoms spill over.

When the bucket is full, we see those symptoms become reality - for some it is full-blown disease, for others, annoying symptoms.

By performing the foundational aspects of health, we have the foundation to handle more stress before those symptoms/diseases present themselves.

We've been trained that luxury goods are better than all other products.

In healthcare, not only is that often untrue, it's ultimately the opposite.

We are paying luxury prices for subpar results (we are dead last in high-income countries (by outcomes) and are significantly below much less affluent countries in many regards).

Chiropractic care is has been shown to produce better outcomes at a fraction of the price.

When we stop focusing on covering up symptoms, and we start to address the underlying, foundational aspects that make up health (proper nutrition, better movement, sufficient sleep and stress management - AKA the chiropracic paradigm) luxury outcomes and reasonable prices will be the likely result.

One of the best detoxification systems we have is built-in to our system.

Throughout history, there have been ways that we have utilized this detox system - sweat lodges, saunas, bath houses, etc...

While many of those systems are still in place, it is not systemized in most people's lives.

Making exercise, sauna, red light, or some other form of sweat detox a part of your routine can be a powerful way to reset - and protect - your health.

If you knew that your brain was going to fail you at some point in life, what action would you take to prevent that from happening.

Sadly, as men we face a faster decline than women (according to this study). This is compounded by many of the choices that we make.

But knowing is half of the battle.

By planning for what we want our lives to look like when we are old, can we avoid this fate?

I'm going to guess that answer is yes (as 80% of the chronic diseases that we face are due to our lifestyles).

This puts the ball in our court.

Chiropractic care is among the recommended first-line approaches for pain.

Why?

In most cases function is the changed, leading to inflammation and over time, pain.

If this underlying dysfunction is not corrected, degeneration is more likely to occur.

Chiropractic care works to restore function allowing the tissues to heal, the inflammation to resolve and the pain to go away for the long-term.

Whether you're seeking the absence of symptoms, or the restoration or function, the path remains the same.

What if you viewed arthritis as termites of the spine?

While this does serve as an emotional connection to it, it is also an apt description, as small changes occur over time - often going unnoticed - until bigger problems are present.

By having a consistent focus on the care of the spine - working to sustain function throughout lifetime - we can often stay ahead of these problems and minimize the complete "remodels" down the road.

Our bodies are very closely related to rhythms.

Sleep is the one that comes to mind for most people - and sleep (more accurately a lack thereof) is linked with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Hormonal balance is also a rhythm. Insulin is one of these hormones that follows circadian patterns that set sleep. Disordered sleep can lead to blood sugar regulation challenges that also set people up for Alzheimer's disease.

The way you eat, sleep, move and think all play a role in your circadian cycles.

If yours is currently disrupted, working to restore function as soon as possible can be life-changing, not just now, but well into your future.

It is easy to write off a "minor" crash as not big enough to worry about.

It surely can't be the cause of your problems, right?

The symptoms are actually more important predictors of long-term problems than the demographics or the crash characteristics.

Some studies show that whiplash can even happen at speeds as low as 5 mph!

This may seem weird, but chiropractic doesn't specifically address any disease - rather it sets the body up for better function so the ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜บ can do the healing.

Think about that for a moment.

If you get a scratch, do you have to tell the body what to do?

If you get a cold, do you have to provide instructions?

The body does the healing, and when we are in an optimal state, we are less likely to face injury or disease.

We are seeing an early decline in brain function becoming more normal in our society.

Why?

The brain takes a lot of time to fully mature. When combined with many of our damaging choices - contact sports, inflammatory diets, insufficient sleep, and more - we set ourselves up for trouble.

Instead of looking at brain function as something that will be trouble at some point down the road, realize that it doesn't actually peak until 55-60 years of age, and our "golden years" can be some of our most productive with the right approach.

Chiropractic care helps improve the communication between the brain and the body - along with reducing the stress response - both of which can set us up for long-term overall health.

One of the fastest ways to change your health is to get outside and move.

The sunshine helps improve mood and can have some metabolic benefits (depending on the time of day and exposure to skin).

The movement helps stimulate different neurotransmitters that can be associated with pain relief.

Nature stimulates divergent thinking, which takes the focus off of smaller "problems" and opens us up to creative solutions (thinking outside of the box).

The increase in activity oxygenates and improve the blood flow of the brain and muscles, which helps optimize their function.

Aim to do this at least 3 times weekly for at least 20 minutes to get the most out of it. Bonus points if you can get out there at least 5 times per week.
